New Year’s Hard Cutter

Haase at DVN is clearly a little excited for the new year's potential.

Thursday night and Friday (New Years Day): Another potent storm
system to impact portions of the Midwest, including the dvn cwa.
GFS/ECMWF similar in tracking a Lower Mississippi Valley type
cyclone from se TX to Lake MI. These are notorious for bringing
copius moisture from the Gulf which would produce heavy, wet snow
along with the potential for freezing rain (ice accumulations) and
strong winds. This system has a lot going for it, strong low
pressure, strong forcing and a deepening closed h5 low.
Climatologically speaking these type cyclones can produce 8+ inches
of snow and even thundersnows! However, this remains to be seen but
if it holds true what a way to start the new year!

GFS looks like it's going to tick west again with the way it's a little faster to have the trough tilt negative 

At first it does, but then it occludes and shears east before getting up here.  Other models keep it more robust farther north.

Absolutely on the table the ensembles are literally everywhere so any shift in any direction is possible.

If this system forms as advertised (not sure what I think about that yet) I think you might be in the right spot to cash in. I may be a bit too far west. Either way, we're overdue in our area so hopefully this system breaks the ice for better days to come...lol 😄

I hope so too looks like the band of snow is going to be kind of narrow if it happens.  I would like to see it expand a little bit and cover more real-estate and get the whole KC area on both sides of the state line a little snow.

I'll take an order of 04 to go pls. A couple others are nice as well. Who am I kidding. 2" of SLOP would be a victory here.

I'll take anything at this point.  I haven't had any snow since October when I got an inch and a half some places nearby haven't had any snow accumulation yet in my area.

I doubt that can happen with this unfortunately. Cold is just marginal as can be. Not conducive to explosive anything. More the opposite. This is one of those 2 cnty wide warning snow deals with sharp reductions either side. I'd love to be proven wrong, trust me.

My office with a good detailed write up on basically all of next week.

pattern then changes for Tuesday and Wednesday. A low pressure
system will start approaching the area Tuesday morning, giving us a
chance for widespread precipitation. Wintry precipitation is
expected initially with cold air in place at the surface. We could
see a little snow at first around sunrise if the column can
saturate, otherwise, we likely won`t see precipitation at the
surface until closer late morning Tuesday. By this time, there
will be a warm nose along and south of HWY 36, resulting in a
wintry mix at the surface, with freezing rain likely being the
dominate precipitation type. For those north of HWY 36, the
dominate precip type will be snow initially with a changeover to
wintry mix in the afternoon. Most of our wintry accumulations
with this storm system will occur Tuesday morning and afternoon.
Ice accumulations up to 0.10 of an inch is possible east of I-35,
with 0.10 to 0.15 of an inch of is expected west of I-35. Snow
accumulations between a dusting to 1 inch are possible east of
I-35, with 1 to 4 inches expected west of I-35. The highest
amounts for both ice and snow will be in far northwest MO. As a
result, slick roads are expected Tuesday and caution should be
taken if traveling. Keep in mind, there is still some room for the
timing of the switch from wintry precip to rain to change on
Tuesday if the warm surface air is quicker or slower to arrive
than it looks right now. An adjustment to the arrival of the warm
surface air either way would affect wintry accumulations.

Tuesday afternoon through the overnight hours, warm air advection
will increase over the area as the surface low starts moving north
through KS. This means the precipitation will transition from a
wintry mix to all rain from the south to north. Moderate rain will
be possible at times. The system will then start exiting our area on
Wednesday morning. There is a chance we see the rain change back to
a light wintry mix/snow as it moves out, but that will only occur if
the cold air and moisture can overlap. If the cold air can catch up
to the moisture on Wednesday, then we could see a little more snow
accumulation, mainly east of I-35. Perhaps up to another inch of
snow.

We should see a brief break from precipitation Wednesday night into
Thursday, but a second storm system looks to move in quickly
Thursday night. Right now this system is tracking north from
eastern TX into eastern MO. This puts most of our area into the
favorable location for snow development. Therefore, more snow
accumulation is possible Thursday night into Friday for our area.
The track of this storm system will be important for who ends up
seeing this snow and will be watched closely.

I guess getting a double-digit snow on Christmas Day causes one to have optimism on current said pattern. Must be the cause of a rather positive (wintry wx wise) tone to IWX's pm AFD:

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Saturday)
Issued at 240 PM EST Sun Dec 27 2020

...Powerful Great Lakes/wrn OH Valley cyclone looms large late
week...

Longer term continues to hold great interest and great challenge in
regard to energetic wave train over the epac and about to come on
shore this aftn. Overall signal to noise spread has decreased some
since yesterday yet surprising given complexity of perturbation
heavy upstream flow. Of note is general trend for leading
intense/deep srn stream wave to separate and remain unphased from
nrn stream sw progged to deepen into/through the nrn lakes Wed as
srn stream sw sharpens sigly through nrn Mexico. Good operational
clustering/consensus aloft with this projection. On the other hand
this turns quite uncertain late period per ensembles relegated to
both following additional energetic srn following stream wave and
degree of nrn stream flow influence (cold intrusion) that persists
over the lakes ahead of newd ejecting sig srn stream cyclone out of
the deep south. Nevertheless a very wet sys looks to track through
the lakes/OH valley toward the New Years holiday. This presents
potential ptype issues and resulting impactful winter wx at times
late Wed-Fri and something to focus/hone in on in coming days. In
the end, this sys will finally put an end to the lingering drought
of 2020.

Right on the eastern edge, right above the 2.1

Euro's been over-amped garbage at this range all "winter". May well be the case again with this. Ofc, the downside is a weaker more progressive 2-4" swath.
